Residents and businesses in Elbasan, Gramsh, and Librazhd will face temporary power outages during the period March 2–5, 2026, due to technical maneuvers and safety measures on the transmission network. According to the official announcement, as part of the shutdown as a safety measure of the 400 kV Fier – Elbasan – Qafë Thanë line, interventions will be carried out on several 35 kV and 10 kV lines, which will result in short power interruptions in certain areas.

Tourism in Korçë has been completely paralyzed for about a week, with the tourist village of Voskopojë being the hardest hit. Around 80 percent of reservations have been canceled, while tour operators are urging authorities to announce the reopening date for the Librazhd road, as they are facing financial ruin. Meanwhile, visitors are reportedly going to Greece and North Macedonia instead. Some guesthouses are closed, others have their doors open but without visitors. This is

The interventions have put pressure on the road shoulders, while the foundations have been eroded due to the use of river material, a solution considered incorrect from an engineering standpoint and one that has contributed to the destabilization of the terrain. The collapse that occurred on the national Librazhd–Përrenjas road axis, near the village of Dragostunjë, is expected to take a long time to repair — in the best-case scenario, several months of work — if current proc

Individuals with low salaries do not receive compensation through the Annual Individual Income Declaration (DIVA), because they have no income tax paid. Accountants and the tax administration explain that employees earning around 50,000 lek per month, or 600,000 lek per year, are not subject to tax and therefore cannot receive reimbursements for children’s expenses. According to accountant Armand Mala, the system does not calculate compensation for this category because the t

The closure of the Librazhd–Përrenjas road has also created difficulties for medical emergencies traveling from the Regional Hospital of Korçë to Tirana. Ambulances, like smaller vehicles, are forced to follow the alternative route Maliq–Lozhan–Moglicë–Gramsh, a narrow road with sharp turns and multiple problem areas along this segment. Due to the conditions of this route, ambulance drivers have to reduce speed, which prolongs transport times for patients needing urgent inter

The Albanian Road Authority has begun intensive work on several fronts, aiming to resolve the situation as quickly as possible. Work is currently underway to remove large amounts of soil from both sides of the existing road, in order to clear the terrain where probes will be installed for a detailed geological study and technical assessment of the area following the landslide. At the same time, with increased mobilization of heavy machinery, operations have started to regulat

Korçë, the city of serenades, skiing in Dardhë, and relaxing by the lake in Pogradec remain among the most preferred weekend options for many residents of Tirana and other Albanian cities. However, the closure of the Librazhd–Përrenjas road following landslides has caused these cities to empty of both domestic and foreign tourists. Hospitality and restaurant businesses in Korçë and Pogradec unanimously state that since Saturday, after the Librazhd–Përrenjas axis was blocked,

The United States Embassy in Tirana has issued a rare security alert, advising American citizens to avoid certain venues in the capital due to potential risks of retaliatory violence and general safety concerns. In the warning distributed through official channels, the embassy urges U.S. citizens to exercise increased caution, stay away from the specified locations, and monitor updates regarding the situation This alert is considered unusual, raising questions about the actua

The issue of the truck drivers stranded in Qafë Thanë has been resolved. Sources near the border crossing point stated that the General Directorate of Customs contacted the authorities of North Macedonia, who will allow the trucks to return to Qafë Thanë and provide them with a document enabling passage through the Bllatë border crossing. From there, they can continue via the Arbër road to their destinations. For four days, dozens of truck drivers had been stranded in Qafë Th

The Council of Ministers has approved the End-of-Year Normative Act introducing several changes to last year’s state budget. Under this normative act, a bonus of 15,000 new lek will be distributed to families receiving economic assistance, as well as to persons with disabilities and their caregivers. In total, around 148,500 citizens will benefit from this initiative, with an overall fund of approximately 2.2 billion lek allocated for the measure. “Some of the main issues we

Astrologer Meri Shehu warns of a week marked by strong astrological shifts for all 12 zodiac signs. In an interview with “Tv Klan,” she emphasized that the end of February will be dominated by returns, tensions, and important reassessments, especially in financial and romantic matters. According to her, Mercury turning retrograde on February 26 and its conjunction with Venus in Pisces will bring past issues back for review. Meanwhile, February 27 is expected to carry intense

For four days, dozens of truck drivers have been stuck in Qukës following the closure of the Librazhd road, making it impossible for them to continue their journey toward Tirana. According to the truck drivers, advice from ARRSH (the Albanian Road Authority) is ineffective because they have already cleared customs for their cargo and cannot enter North Macedonia, as there is no agreement between the two governments to resolve this issue. They report that, in addition to fatig

So far, around 30,000 taxpayers have completed the Annual Individual Income Declaration. The final deadline is March 31, and the Tax Administration expects that 200,000 individuals will submit the declaration. This increase is due to the first-time application of tax deductions for dependent children and education expenses. The possibility of reimbursement is also encouraging citizens without children to voluntarily declare their income, in order to check whether they may hav

Due to the collapse of the road in the area known as Arrat e Gurrës, there are now two alternative routes for vehicle movement: Spathar–Dardhë, as well as Gramsh–Moglicë–Lozhan. On the Spathar–Dardhë axis, Report Tv visited the village where, from the investigation carried out, a large number of vehicles were observed. For their own reasons, they were traveling from the southeast toward Elbasan or Tirana, while some emigrants were also heading to Greece. “This is a goat path.

The blockage of movement in the country’s southeast also affects key border crossing points with Greece and North Macedonia, with which Albania maintains significant trade activity, especially with the Hellenic state. With these two countries, a trade volume of 117 billion lekë was recorded in 2025 (imports + exports), or around €1.2 billion. According to INSTAT, this amount accounts for about one-tenth of the country’s total trade volume (9.5%). According to INSTAT data, in

The reaction from the Elbasan Prosecutor’s Office came after an alarming situation arose yesterday, where, beyond the damage sustained on the road axis, landslides also threaten the railway line and the 110 KV high-voltage power line, increasing the risk of power outages and other chain consequences.
